Any ideas on adjusting newly installed rear brake shoes. Bentley says to adjust shoe outer diameter to 9.87 inches. Lets say I don't have that capability. Any ideas? How about installing the brakes and the drum then tightening the shoes up till the drum won't turn then backing off on the adjuster. Would 5 be good? Or 7? Or 10? A slight drag? No drag? Any ideas appreciated. Thanks Jeff 83.5 Westy LA,CA
